Presented as part of MFA Graduating Festival Autofictional at Simon Fraser University.

the lightest things float to the top is a solo performance with sound, light, and objects by MFA candidate Kittie Cooper. Kittie’s sound art practice centers around found sound and found objects, and amplifying the memories held by these things. Through her work, the lightest things float to the top, Cooper takes a similar approach to composing light and shadow—reimagining lights from familiar spaces as an intermedia instrument. These performances are the first in the series developed by Kittie.  

“She fancied that the rooms brightened as she came in; stirred, opened their eyes as if they had been dozing in her absence. She fancied, too, that, hundreds and thousands of times as she had seen them, they never looked the same twice, as if so long a life as theirs had stored in them a myriad moods which changed with winter and summer, bright weather and dark, and her own fortunes and the people's characters who visited them.” — Orlando, Virginia Woolf

“What is heard by the listener is changed by listening and changes the listener.” — Quantum Listening, Pauline Oliveros
